Whether you're carrying it to the jobsite, into the outdoors, or as part of your everyday rotation, the Amphibian Mini is engineered to deliver confidence with every cut.
At the heart of the knife is a 3.25-inch standard recurved clip point blade crafted from premium Böhler M390MK steel. Renowned for its outstanding edge retention, corrosion resistance, and exceptional toughness, M390MK is built to handle demanding cutting tasks while maintaining a razor-sharp edge over extended use. The stonewashed finish gives the blade a rugged, low-maintenance appearance that helps disguise scratches and wear from everyday use, making it an excellent choice for a hardworking everyday carry knife. The classic Amphibian blade profile provides excellent slicing performance with a strong tip and versatile cutting geometry that's equally suited for utility work, outdoor chores, and precision tasks.
The lightweight aluminum handle is finished in a rich Merlot color that gives this Amphibian Mini a distinctive look without sacrificing durability. Machined with a frag pattern texture, the handle provides enhanced grip and confident control in a variety of conditions while adding a bold visual element to the knife's clean, modern design. The ergonomic shape fills the hand comfortably, creating a secure grip that inspires confidence during extended cutting sessions.
The Amphibian Mini is equipped with Microtech's innovative RAM-LOK® bar lock system, delivering smooth manual operation and rock-solid lockup. Designed for strength, reliability, and ambidextrous functionality, the RAM-LOK® makes blade deployment and closing effortless while providing exceptional security during use. Combined with Microtech's precision manufacturing, the result is a folding knife that feels remarkably smooth and dependable every time it's opened.
Measuring 7.72 inches overall with a 4.47-inch handle, the Amphibian Mini offers an outstanding balance between portability and capability. Its compact dimensions make it easy to carry every day, while the solid aluminum construction provides the durability needed for real-world use. Proudly made in the USA, every detail reflects Microtech's commitment to premium materials, meticulous machining, and uncompromising quality.
